I would add that if you start lookig for a processor, I would suggest 
one of the automatic versions like an JOBO ATL series. You can use 
the CPP/CPE with the lift, but you will need to stand at the machine 
for an hour to develop E6 films. Push and pull precessing are not 
that much different with the ATL1000/1500, as long as you stay with 
standard 1 or 2 stops, for half stops you'll want the 1500 control 
panel.
